Adobe RoboHelp (2015 Release)

Features

With Robohelp, you can deliver engaging help and policy content across mobile devices, formats, and platforms. Publish content as mobile apps, or in HTML5, EPUB 3, KF8, and MOBI. Empower users to find relevant content faster with dynamic content filters. Work more productively with a ribbon UI.

Use the new dynamic content filters to create enhanced DUCC output that generates only one set of HTML5 files regardless of the number of expressions used. Easily migrate your current DUCC outputs to new, more efficient ones based on dynamic content filters.

Now see how filtered content will look for different combinations of filters by easily testing dynamic content filters using the Tagged Output view. The view also shows the tags that have been applied to the generated HTML5 files.

Leverage next-generation mobile publishing

New HTML5 layout

Deliver a personalized content consumption experience. Configure search to appear on the content or topic panes, and show context and breadcrumbs in the results. Easily show or hide widgets, such as glossary and TOC. Convert the layout to right-to-left languages just by changing one property.

Provide greater context to end users by showing more details in search results. Configure the search results to appear on the content or topic panes, and show breadcrumbs and topic descriptions. By default, the first few sentences of the topic are shown as description, but authors can also write their own.

Generate stunning responsive HTML5 output for multiple devices with just one click, even for your legacy content. Provide a consistent user experience across multiple screen types by simply selecting a single layout from a gallery of responsive HTML5 layouts. Leverage the responsive HTML5 output to create mobile apps easily.

Deliver content-centric apps across major platforms

Mobile app output support

Ensure wider distribution and consumption of content with a simplified mobile app generation workflow and native integration with Adobe PhoneGap Build*. Easily publish your content as mobile apps for iOS and Android with just one click.

Work more productively with a modern interface

Ribbon UI

Work more productively with a modern, workflow-centric, ribbon UI. Customize the interface with a theme of your choice and colored or grayscale icons. Work faster with a customizable Quick Access toolbar and contextual tabs.

Work faster with bidirectional and multiline searches in the TOC, files, and index pods. Set the search scope to the current project or window, a specific folder, or all open files. Zip through search results in Design mode, and easily edit topics by double-clicking them.

Easily manage a large number of conditional expressions in a project by giving them descriptive, easy-to-remember names. Eliminate the hassle of having to decipher the logic each time you need to use expressions.

Enjoy the convenience of having projects opened in exactly the same state in which they were closed. No need to remember which topics and pods were opened last—RoboHelp (2015 release) automatically restores them.

Take single-sourcing and collaborative authoring to a extraordinary level. Share your topics for reuse or review. Keep them synchronized and get real-time updates without having to import comments. Easily merge projects, even when multiple authors are working simultaneously on them.

Work anytime, anywhere, on any machine, and with any collaborator, even if they aren’t on the same corporate network. Configure a Dropbox folder in Resource Manager with one click, and drag resource files and topics to it to share them with subject matter experts, vendors, and others.

Focus on content, not on managing it. Share topics confidently across authors and projects and let RoboHelp take on the task of managing dependencies. Keep dependent files synchronized with the shared topics, or specify different dependent files for different projects.

Organize topics and resource files as you like, even when they are shared with other authors or projects. Cross-references are automatically resolved. Keep dependent files synchronized with the shared topics, or specify different dependent files for different projects.
